Once hey claimed that iphones were really designed first by god, and as such they are entitled to the royalties and profits, then repeated with every other cash cw out there they would have got along due to having all the money.

Okay, you just lost the pagans, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Taoists/Confucianists … basically anyone of the non-Abrahamic faiths. Trying to get those groups to set aside their mutually exclusive beliefs in order to make a grab for the symbology of Christianity is just … It’s so ridiculous that everything up to this point in the comic is utterly mundane.

No, some of them believe in both beings. Some of them have a dualist theology, similar to the Gnostic Christians, back in the 1st century CE.

Some of those dualists believe that Yahweh and Satan/Lucifer/whatever are opposed forces of comparable power. Some believe that Satan was created by a non-omnipotent, non-omniscient version of Yahweh, and he’s the more moral one of the two, having rebelled against the injustice of Yahweh. Some Satanists are atheist trolls who make good use of Satanism as a legal tool to oppose first-amendment violations by the Dominionist Christians, here in the US.

You can’t really say that a Satanist has a “misconception” about Satanism. The religious concept of any given Satanist is just as valid as any others. It’s the Satanist’s own made up nonsense, so he/she can make up whatever he/she likes. As an opposition religion in the vast minority, there isn’t nor has ever really been enough coherency to set up official dogma to which most Satanists conform.

What you’re saying is sort of like saying that a Jehovah’s Witness has a misconception about the Trinity. The Jehovah’s Witness believes that Jesus and Yahweh are distinct beings, while a more mainline Christian believes that Jesus and Yahweh are both part of an incoherent, contradictory being/group. Jehovah’s Witnesses reject the Doctrine of the Trinity, for that reason.

Neither of those Christians has a misconception about the Trinity. One accepts the concept, and the other doesn’t.

Unfortunately, that’s one of the problems with organized religion– sometimes corrupt people seeking power get into positions of power within them. The other big problems are human pride, vanity, and egos.

That wasn’t them getting behind Christianity, as much as it was them using it to their advantage. Religion has always been a good tool to use in justifying your right to rule over and oppress the peasants.

In the real world, you don’t have the mythological characters of Christianity popping up and doing things, like this class-action lawsuit.

A bigger issue with Gyrre’s comment, which I completely failed to address was his (her?) statement about the problem with organized religion.

That sort of thing always makes me laugh. If a religion isn’t organized, it will go away after 3 or 4 generations. If a religion isn’t organized, you won’t get things like … the Bible … the Koran … the Bhagavad Gita of the Mahabharata …

Without those, you don’t have anything approaching a modern religion, just something like back in the days of animism, spirit worship, and ancestral worship.

This is why I consider myself to be religious, but I abhor Organized Religion. Heck, they can’t even agree on which *version* of the Bible to believe, mostly *because* of those wanna-be tyrants among their ranks. In this day & age, there has been a fairly large, detrimental influence accumulated.

Yes, Religions could not survive very long without organizing, but like any man-made organization, it’s vulnerable to those who would take personal advantage of it.

I now expect a cooperative meeting between religious repping heroes.
Good Girl will probably running into the Hindu rep, Maybe the Budda rep.
Which reminds me,.. How does she get along with Wiccah-Raven clone?

Trying to set a precedent for anyone who wants to sue someone else for using religious iconography that the first person claims to own, somehow.

I dunno. The whole premise is a bit incoherent from the word go. Within the scenario presented in this arc, any Christian could sue any other Christian for using Christian iconography. I’m going to assume that GG is a Christian to at least some degree, so that’s what we’re looking at.

Pretty sure he’s being arrested for contempt of court, because the judge went on a power trip and decided he can do that. Which is something I would totally do if I were a judge. Possibly one of the reasons they weeded me out.

Hey, if you win an election, there’s nothing that they can do about it, until after you do something sufficiently unconstitutional. It took a great deal to get Roy Moore ejected from the bench the first time around, in 2003, and it’s going to take a lot of effort to get him ejected again, after his recent activities.

(This is in no intention of stealing audience and it’s one-off I did try and post it as a banner for advert on this site, but it wouldn’t accept the rating that the comic will go into which is NFSW and only posting here as people seem to give feedback and their own views.)
